There are multiple levels of "getting a clue", but yeah, they're getting close to the bottom of the barrel of cluelessness.

If its laziness, it's a weaponized laziness. A politically useful laziness. The idea that the issue with the Ozone hole "just went away" is politically useful to people who pretend that the problems with carbon emissions will just "go away". It's a tool and a tactic to stymie necessary political action, in service to the economic interests that will sufferer from that necessary political action.

(cont) A global warming fix is more difficult, and more expensive. That means wharas the CFC producers figured the expense could fit well within the margins their business model afforded them, the current stakeholders of the fossil fuel industry have done their math, and come to the conclusion that an anti-science PR campaign is more cost effective than the relevant action.

I do have to add... We should be careful not to think "we fixed the Ozone, so we should be able to fix Global Warming as easily" The Ozone "fix" was much easier than any Global Warming fix, politically. The people who had been making CFCs could start making HCFCs with not too much retooling. Much of the previous manufacturing infrastructure was re-usable. The same stakeholders who were making money from CFCs could do so from HCFCs without a big increase in expense. (cont)

IIRC Christian Zionists was a term in vogue because of the (at the time) counterintuitive Evangelical support for Israel. But its not so much a "already did this"... its a "still doing this". the Evangelical forces that explicitly support Israel because they are trying to bring about Biblical End times never went away. They just weren't reported on consistently. I'm reminded of that dude in Texas trying to breed the perfect Red heifer so that the Third Temple an be consecrated.

This. I suspect the same goes for Greene. If all goes as it has in the past, in a few years they'll retroactively have always been against Trump. They'll have a new Conservative Daddy, and they'll blame all the stuff Trump did on whatever poor Democrat gets elected after him.

Which means that someone purposefully cropped the photo just so that people would leap to that conclusion. Only question is, was Joel Fischer the bullshit lier? Or was Joel fooled by a bullshit lier.

I enjoyed Fountainhead... and I was exactly 14 years old when I read it. That's one reason this quote hits me. Obviously, I have moved on :)

I'm cool with that, as long as the legislation that encodes it is suitable non-party specific... because I fully expected it to be used against politically active conservatives republican churches in future administrations.

"Because they don't have to be close to shore"... they'll still need power cables, and the farther, the more expensive, and the more invasive. I think this kind of research is cool, but my immediate through is still "what's the levelized cost of power, and how does it compare to other sources"

"no."

Folks like Winter above don't believe in Primaries. They want a Coronation. Any debate in the choosing of a candidate is dismissed as divisive. I was a Bernie supporter in 2016, and despite his poor treatment by both the media and the Clinton, he supported Clinton after he lost the Primary. I voted for her, but some segment of her supporters still blamed us, because we had the temerity to have a meaningful primary.

I've seen the video. The only resisting he did was his skull resisted being caved in while being repeatedly beaten.

"Republicans without exception support law enforcement" Is an odd thing to say when we are explicitly talking about an obvious exception.

Every Republican "value" is on the chopping block when Power is at stake. This has been obvious since the early 2000's and the Swiftboating of John Kerry. All the supposed respect for veterans who served gets revealed as performative, when it's tossed out the window for political expediency.
